This read action is giving me the above error message, after migration to Ash 3.0. If it’s relevant, key is the source and destination attribute name for Resource1’s belongs_to relationship.
key = "1234"
Resource1.read_by_key!(key)
Resource1
actions do
default_accept :*
read :read_by_key do
argument :key, :string
filter expr(key == ^arg(:key))
end
...
code_interface do
domain ...
define :read_by_key, action: :read, args: [:key]

Should it be
action: :read_by_key?jason.o
That works. Thank you! I misunderstood
action:is to specify the type of action (:read, :create, etc.) rather than the name of specific function.jason.o
The doc says
action:defaults to the same name as the function which led me to thinkdefine :read_by_key, args: [:key]should workinstead of
define :read_by_key, action: :read_by_key, args: [:key]But it doesn’t because
action:is not optional. What does the Doc mean about the default here?zachdaniel
I’m 99% sure that
actionis optional. What makes you say that it’s not optional? Do you get a required error if you don’t specify it?jason.o
Never mind. There was a typo.
